We’ve invented a new shipping container—a skinned container. Welding 26 ga Corten®, or Strenx® weathering steel sheets to the exterior sides of your container will save you 5.2% on diesel fuel by smoothing out the sides.
In the first few months of 2023, the average diesel costs were $4.238 per gallon (AAA, March 27, 2023). If a full time intermodal driver fills up once per day in a 300 day trucking year, the annual bill is $190,710!
Why not save $9,916.92?
